The Collecta large Centipede model is a detailed figure that highlights the unique features of this many-legged creature. It is 18 cm long and 3 cm wide, and it has the lengthy, segmented body that makes centipedes easy to recognize.
Centipedes are often mistaken for having one hundred legs, but their leg count can vary from 30 to 354, always in odd-numbered pairs. They are good at hunting because they rely on special pincer-like appendages called forcipules to inject venom.
Like spiders and scorpions, centipedes are carnivorous and play a role in controlling insect populations in nature. This CollectA figure offers an engaging way to explore one of nature's most unusual creatures, making it an interesting addition for collectors and learners alike.
